Reverse description The reverse presents a detailed architectural panorama of the Novodevichy Convent in Moscow, rendered in finely engraved high relief against a mirrored proof field. Prominent in the composition are the convent's characteristic white-stone churches and towers adorned with onion domes surmounted by Orthodox crosses, conveying the distinctive Muscovite Baroque style of the ensemble. In the upper centre of the field, a small inset vignette in matte finish depicts a historical scene with figures on horseback before the convent walls, evoking the monastery's rich historical heritage. A decorative Cyrillic calligraphic flourish appears at the lower right of the field. The curved legend НОВОДЕВИЧИЙ МОНАСТЫРЬ В МОСКВЕ (The Novodevichy Convent in Moscow) arcs along the upper periphery in stylised Cyrillic lettering.
